Difficulty: MediumWireless LAN Client Connectivity Configuration via WLC GUI

An engineer is configuring a wireless network for enterprise laptops using the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) web interface. Under the Security tab, Layer 2 security is configured to use WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X key management. Which sub-tab within the WLAN configuration page must be used to specify the external RADIUS authentication server for client authorization?

  1. A
    Layer 3 sub-tab under Security
  2. AAA Servers sub-tab under SecurityAnswer
  3. C
    Advanced tab
  4. D
    General tab

Answer

The RADIUS authentication server is assigned on the AAA Servers sub-tab under the Security tab of the WLAN configuration page.
On a Cisco WLC, after configuring Layer 2 Security for 802.1X (WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise), external RADIUS authentication servers are selected under the AAA Servers sub-tab located within the Security tab of the WLAN edit page.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the WLAN configuration requirement
The scenario requires associating an 802.1X RADIUS authentication server with a newly defined WPA2-Enterprise WLAN.
When 802.1X is selected under Layer 2 Security, the WLC must know which external AAA server to forward EAP authentication requests to.
2
Locate the appropriate WLC GUI menu section
Navigate to WLANs > Edit > Security > AAA Servers.
Cisco WLC GUI categorizes external authentication server selection under the AAA Servers sub-tab within the Security tab.
